They are looking for re-enactors from all periods- this is an astounding event, I did it in 2014 and the scale is immense- we had crowds of 251,000 over the weekend- if you are interested, PM and I shall put you in touch with Daria

Let me see, if I have this correct. You are being asked to supply names of people (and indeed groups) who would be willing to attend an event in Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation??? Personally speaking I would give a very polite "Thank you, but I do not think I am able to" because I am convinced that anyone going to Russia who is not Russian runs the risk of not being able to leave Russia unless they promise to support President Putin in everything he does.

More news from Russia:''Hello Ian! I have some news. The begining of XX c. will have several dates. 1st of June retro train will come to the station with passangers in histotical costumes. It is vip event and a lot of people from government will come also. 8 of June will be War and Peace in memorial park. Which dates are more convinient for you?

And during the whole week there will be "street of history" on Tverskoy bulevard with museums and projects. No big battles this year exept 17th century, it will be convention of reenactors. Dates for 17th century are the same:10 of June preparation and day for coming. 11 - the main program12 - end.Street of history will take all epochs who can't come during the main dates, foreigners especially and different museums and assosiations''

If anyone would like to go contact me and I will put you in touch with the organisers.
